How much does it cost to study in Mannheim?

Good news: Mannheim University of Applied Sciences is a state-run university and your studies here are free of charge, i.e. students do not have to pay any tuition fees.

However, you will have to pay a registration fee and a Mannheim Student Services fee: currently, the combined total amount is EUR 138.50 per semester. Exchange students from partner universities pay a reduced amount.
